beautiful facility, 10/10 ! had a great time!!! the best trainers and equipment san diego has to offer!

The lack of maturity is directly reflected in how little trainers care. This is a professional business and the owners should be embarrassed

The new owners, who seem to aspire to actually improve the quality of this facility (aka removing year's old poop stains from the toilet) have removed the one water fountain so that patrons are forced to buy their $3-5 bottles of water. If you bring your own in don't plan on refilling it because the bathroom sinks are too shallow and the water is not filtered (and the sinks always have hair in them). There are still holes in the floor, and the padding is coming off the walls in the martial arts area of the gym. Not too sure what their plans are to improve the place, but they are certainly taking their time.

I was getting tired and bored of my usual routines at the gym. I hit a plateau and felt stuck. Working out wasn't fun anymore, but I didn't want to give up on my goals. I wanted a personalized program specific to my needs and this is where my search for a PT began. This is probably unconventional on my end, but due to scheduling and availability, I ended up working with two different coaches at SMTF. (Don't worry, they both knew about each other and were cool with it :)) My first trainer is Kathleen. When I first met her, she was very knowledgeable and understood a lot of the obstacles I had faced during my fitness journey. She's tough, her training sessions were challenging and out of my comfort zone, but she motivated me to never give up. I loved the feeling of accomplishment after I trained with her. My second trainer is Jeremy. Sometimes, I would complain or whine, but he was always extremely patient with me during those moments lol. I became sick for about 3 weeks and was worried about losing my strength. Jeremy understood and modified my training until I got better. He is also incredibly knowledgeable and helped me reach many different PR's. Both coaches were very communicative and were always available for me if I needed help with nutrition, had questions about training methods, or if I needed to talk about things going on in life. I felt like both my coaches genuinely cared about my well being and really wanted to help me achieve my goals. I've lost 15 pounds in 8 weeks and feel stronger!! I may sound biased, but I KNOW I was lucky enough to have 2 AMAZING coaches. I would highly recommend Kathleen Day and Jeremy Fox if you're looking for a personal trainer in San Diego!!

Incredible Gym!!

Started doing personal training with Natalie S. After one session I feel like a whole new person. She listened to my concerns and my goals and tailored a regimen to my specific needs. Love the Chill Zone - just wish it was included in the membership instead of $20 a session (you do get one free session per month which is nice). The infrared sauna is a great warm down! Grateful for this community and excited to try out more classes. Just wish there were more offerings, the classes I like are only offered once a week.

The sled was a lot of fun as my current gym does not have one. Towels are available at the front desk, and the locker rooms are clean, spacious, and well-appointed with showers, a large vanity area, and motivational signage throughout. The stretching room was a standout, offering assisted stretch machines along with open floor space for mobility work. The Chill Zone is an additional premium amenity--members receive one complimentary session per month, with additional sessions available for $20. Overall, it's a polished, well-equipped gym with thoughtful amenities, ideal for those who plan to fully utilize everything the club offers.

I used to avoid gyms because just thinking about working out around other people gave me anxiety…read more But ever since joining Ocean Pacific Gym, that feeling has completely disappeared. The atmosphere here is welcoming, totally non-intimidating, and genuinely enjoyable. I absolutely love the new gym layout, especially all of the booty builder equipment they've added downstairs. It's honestly one of my favorite parts--I get excited to come in and work on building my glutes! The equipment is fantastic, the amenities are top-notch, and the staff is always friendly and supportive. The transformation this gym has gone through is incredible, and it just keeps getting better. Ocean Pacific Gym has turned something I used to dread into something I look forward to every day. Highly recommended! Also the sauna that looks out into the ocean is a great way to end my workout.

Staff acknowledged the cancellation and apologized, but the charges continued. These unauthorized charges disrupted another automatic payment I had scheduled. In addition, I signed a contract with the understanding that certain amenities would be available. Over time, several amenities either disappeared or were not functioning as advertised. Equipment was frequently in poor condition, some machines did not work properly, and basic facility expectations were not consistently met. There were also ongoing issues with air conditioning, and even simple amenities like stocked shampoo and conditioner were unreliable. If you choose to join, I strongly recommend getting any cancellation in writing and carefully reviewing what amenities are actually operational versus what is advertised.
